The accidents they showed were mostly unavoidable...I mean come on, when you're going through a green light that has been green for awhile, you can't tell me you're looking side to side through each intersection to make sure everybody is fully stopped, and even if you did, as fast as the car would be going you wouldn't have enough time to effectively evade that sort of accident.

You are a moron...have you seen how people drive today? cell phones, screens, navigation, makeup, shaving...you name it half the idiots on the road drive at least that bad. All they were doing was taking a potential real time situation (talking with friends in the car) and used it as a base example.

There's no question VW has an awesome ad department.

I love their unpimp, safe happens, and my fast commercials; in that order.

And I still hate the crappy reliability of the cars.
